Clicking sound at low speed and vibration at 35mph

[shadowless127]

Getting a metallic clicking sound at low speeds (sounds like it's coming from the front) and a driveline vibration from 35mph up to ~50mph when under light to moderate acceleration; if I go WOT not really any vibration through that speed range.

Not sure if the problems are related or separate.

Usually that is the front drive shaft. It has a u-joint in the front and CV joint at the rear. The replacement CV is about $100, or get a rebuilt drive shaft for around $200 with core swap. It is easy to test by removing the front drive shaft and taking a test drive to see if the noise and vibration are gone. There are 4 torx bolts (#27) and 2 straps that hold the front u-joint, along with 6 bolts (1/2) that hold the rear. The cup may be rusted tight to the the TC but a couple raps on the sides of the cv joint with a large hammer usually pops it free.
